Welcome Meg!

Our newest practitioner, Meg Rector is a licensed Acupuncturist. She was born and raised in Milton and has always hoped to return to town to start working, and she will start with MiltonBackDoc as of Tuesday October 2nd, 2018!

Meg started her education at Acadia University, studying Nutritional Sciences with a focus in Kinesiology. While at Acadia, she was a member of the varsity volleyball team where she was a three-time conference all-star. It was through playing volleyball that Meg discovered Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. She suffered from patella tendinitis in both knees, which caused her a great deal of pain while jumping. She saw various physiotherapists and sports medicine doctors, but it wasn’t until she tried acupuncture that she really found a great deal of pain relief. This inspired her to look into Traditional Chinese Medicine colleges to attend once she had graduated from Acadia.

She started her Traditional Chinese Medicine training at The Canadian College of Acupuncture and TCM in Bedford, Nova Scotia and transferred to Eight Branches Academy of Eastern Medicine in Toronto in 2015 to complete her schooling. Meg has also just completed her Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Diploma and will be writing her licensing exam this winter with the hopes of being able to prescribe eastern herbal formulas starting in spring 2019.

Meg has a very strong passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine and its ability to treat pain related conditions as well as many other health concerns. She is particularly interested in treating conditions related to pain, stress, sleep, digestion and gynecology. Along with acupuncture, she is trained in cupping (fire, silicone as well as plastic pump cups), Gua Sha (dermal friction), and TCM dietary & lifestyle therapy.

Meg will be available for acupuncture visits on Tuesdays from 2pm to 8pm, Wednesdays from 4pm to 7pm and on Thursdays from 8am until 6pm.
